    It’s a tragedy,

    Technically, and in reality, it’s not a tragedy. Technically, dying from a pre-existing condition as a health insurance exec is a comedy. In reality, it’s a net positive for society.

      Life is a comedy to those who think, and a tragedy to those who feel.

      I’m thinking a lot about this one.

        I’d agree. He likely got great comedic value from the people dying as a result of his decisions; and thinks those people being healthy is a tragedy.
